It's funny Scott that the first time I get on BHW I read your post. 


To fill in..I had a PET scan on Monday..head to toe and 50 minutes in that tube.  I have 3 spots on my back and a mass in the right breast.  I started radiation on the back on Tues and will go everyday for 3 weeks.  They are trying to relieve some of the pain I have in my right leg and get me mobile again.  I have a biopsy scheduled tomorrow on the breast and then a consult with the chemo Dr on Fri and more radiation.  I'm at the overwhelmed stage right now but I can feel God's arms around me and know that I'm in good hands.


Please keep the prayers comming as I feel like I need all I can get

Being told "you have cancer" is the beginning of a process where a person has to go through a lot of stages that are remarkably consistent.
It's a natural process that a person needs to go through, in my opinion. I can tell you this both from my personal experience of being told "You have leukemia", as well as being the messenger, hundreds, if not thousands of times.  The first thing is shock and even denial.  You just want to go off and process all this stuff.  You want to run to be with that one person who means most to you and look to them for comfort and consolation.  Then reality hits hard and that is usually accompanied by anger (Why me?).  You talk to God and beg for a miracle.  You bargain with Him and you promise to do this or that, if He will give you that cure or miracle.  At this point, you begin to feel real sadness and mourning because the reality has sunk in.  Acceptance and a mindset to get going with whatever needs to be done is the final stage.  This is where you roll up your sleeves and go to work.  Those of us who have been through this will identify with what Meg is going through.  We all process things and cope a little differently, but these things do take place.  If you are a person of faith, you begin to find serenity and real peace at some point.  
It's hard to say what Meg is going through at this point, but I am sure she is fighting and working her way through the process.  In time, she will share with us.  Right now what we are doing won't go unnoticed, and those prayers will be heard.  The outpouring of love and support is enormous and very powerful!
